The Archaeological Society of America has published an open letter calling on Netflix to classify Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse as a work of fiction rather than a documentary. Graham Hancock is a best-selling author of historical archeology, much of his work revolves around ancient myths and megalithic structures, and the new Ancient Apocalypse is about the fabled Atlantis. The archaeological community generally classifies its work as pseudo-archaeological research. The open letter calls on Netflix and production company TNT to include a disclaimer emphasizing that the content is not based on genuine archaeological research. Hancock stated strongly in the first episode of “Ancient Apocalypse” that he wants to subvert the paradigm of history.
